Investigation of the direct DNA damages irradiated by protons of different energies using geant4-DNA toolkit
Background: The total yields of direct Single-Strand Breaks (SSBs) and Double-Strand Breaks (DSBs) in proton energies varying from 0.1 to 40 MeV were calculated. While other studies in this field have not used protons with energy less than 0.5 MeV, our results show interesting and complicated behavior of these protons. Materials and Methods: The simulation has been done using the Geant4-DNA too...
متن کاملRadio emission from cosmic ray air showers Monte Carlo simulations
We present time-domain Monte Carlo simulations of radio emission from cosmic ray air showers in the scheme of coherent geosynchrotron radiation. Our model takes into account the important air shower characteristics such as the lateral and longitudinal particle distributions, the particle track length and energy distributions, a realistic magnetic field geometry and the shower evolution as a who...
متن کاملCosmic Ray Compaction of Porous Interstellar Ices
We studied the compaction of microporous vapor-deposited ice films under irradiation with different ions in the 80Y400 keVenergy range.We found that porosity decreases exponentially with irradiation fluence, with amean compaction area per ion that scales linearlywith the stopping power of the projectile S above a threshold St 1⁄4 4 eV8 . The experiments roughly follow a universal dependence of ...
متن کاملMicrodosimetry study of a multicellular model with mono-energetic electrons using Geant4-DNA simulation toolkit
Introduction: The goal of any type of radiation therapy in the treatment of tumors, in addition to destroying cancer cells, is to minimizing radiation to nearby healthy cells and thus reducing side damages. For this purpose, targeted radiation therapy (TRT) is more effective in treating of single cells or small cluster of cells. The main factor in the success of this method is...
متن کاملMonte Carlo Study of Cosmic-Ray Propagation in the Galaxy and Diffuse Gamma- Ray Production
This work presents preliminary results for the time-dependent cosmic-ray propagation in the Galaxy by a fully 3-dimensional Monte Carlo simulation. The distribution of cosmic-rays (both protons and helium nuclei) in the Galaxy is studied on various spatial scales for both constant and variable cosmicray sources. The continuous diffuse gamma-ray emission produced by cosmic-rays during the propag...
